19.01.2022 Have you noticed the Bursaria spinosa bushes are in flower right now in our bushland and reserves? A few nights ago we went for a walk in the Sturt Gorge CP, enjoying the balmy temperatures. There was a flutter of Meadow Brown butterflies in many places along the path and a few Monarchs too. Here are a photo of one of the Meadow Browns busy in the bush which is also known as the SA Christmas bush.
